baby quilt week-day 4

Today's quilt is called Little Bits and the pattern is in this book. I used solids for both the brown and the blue. I liked working on this one an awful lot. Quick, easy and super cute. I do wish that I would have gotten the little bits spread out a bit more...they are kind of bunchy.

Thanks for all the sweet comments on my log cabin quilt yesterday. Now, just to clarify, I made the tops for the plain spoken and the log cabin quilts before I started baby quilt week. (I don't work THAT fast.) The remainder of the quilts I have started just this week, but they came together fast because they are pretty simple. Sorry if I misled any of you, that certainly wasn't my intention.

It's so nice! Love the colors. And now I know why it seemed like you were the fastest quilt top maker in the world! Not that you aren't incredibly fast and prolific! You're inspiring... I need to go get started on my next quilt!

I am still thinking about how I am going to quilt these simpler ones. for the yellow, blue, green stripe one I will probably stipple it. for this one I may do vertical stripes like in the book. it kind of scares me, but I really like the finished result, so I may give it a shot anyway.

I thought the instructions in the book were ok. i am not one to follow patterns or instructions, so I may not be the best one to ask. when I quilt, I usually get inspriation and then run with it rather than following the instructions step by step.
